I take my crow fried, with ranch and hot sauce.

Great pickup and replacement for the tight end we lost to Golesh. This guy is essentially a lock to start now which helps Nico. Still have some big holes to fill but I love they got this guy.

Keep my receipts, I’ll gladly come back and eat them with my crow.

I respect it. While you're at it, I suggest you read over the recruiting restrictions we got from the NCAA. I feel like a lot of people glossed over the penalties without realizing just how restrictive it's been. For example, our coaches can't communicate with recruits for a full week during the months of December and January for the next few years. Aka the most important months in recruiting. This is among tons of other restrictions you may have forgotten about. Something to consider when evaluating our progress

I pulled for McDonald because he was a Memphis kid, hopefully he does well just not against us. Baron I guess I get if it’s NIL but he was getting plenty of playing time and progressing well. He isn’t as fluid as some of the young guys so I think we gave upgrades behind him. He def had experience and production.

Baron had a great year and I would love his production back but late in the season it was Pearce getting home with Josephs a half step behind and often met him at the QB at the same time with a good bit of pressure up the middle from the big guys (this was after the 4-5 game stretch of offensive holding not being called against our opponents mid season).


A 4 man rotation of a mixture of Edge guys with some able to play SDE, LEO or slide inside for rabbit package is pretty good but got to account for injuries. We have Bradley from 2023, another 4 star Edge that class, Hobbs that can play DT or SDE and get after QB plus Ross and portal guys to go after.

My guess is Baron for overpriced 1 year rental when you have equal or better guys in Pearce/Josephs plus plenty of underclassmen talent you need to play & pay just isn’t worth it to the staff. I hate it but what is Baron adding to Bama or UGA that they don't have other than more depth? He should have gone pro.

Lastly, maybe Baron wants to see how many sacks he can rack up when getting fair officiating against the opposing OL?

I do wish TMac had stayed on as a nickel or 3rd down LB in medium yardage situations. I thought he played well, played the run well, covered slot and TE's well and thumped pretty hard. Could have benefited from another year in SEC if he stayed healthy. Again, maybe the staff likes what they have behind him or want to be rid of all remaining Pruitt guys.

A.J. Harris. Freshman CB transferring out of Georgia. That's someone I think would be worth a look at by our staff. And Cayden Green, The freshman OT from Oklahoma. And Chase Bisontis, the freshman OL from TAMU. Three young guys that I think could add to this team.

Comes down to how this staff views our needs/priorities and how the numbers look. The CB I can see. One OT makes sense, but I don't see multiples. A real impact WR is critical IMO.

The correct question is how many playoff spots are there up for grabs? Without a defense to go with our offense it won’t matter.

Not really. We only have a certain amount of spots. That’s just the way it is. You can’t just tell all kinds of guys to leave and expect to replace them. It just does t work that way.

I think Bisontis can play guard.

Curious...where do you think Cayden Green fits in as a starter on the line?

At his listed size, I think he could potentially play guard. At least for a season. We lose both tackles after next season. Potentially, if he's better, he could play RT over Mincey.

Just spit balling. Not a coach, not on staff, so I don't expect any of my ideas or opinions to carry weight, but I'm sure someone will decide to get butt hurt over them.
